Nondiscrimination Complaint Procedures — EMPLOYEES

Employee/Third Party

An employee or third party who believes s/he has been subject to conduct by any student, employee or third party that constitutes a violation of the district’s nondiscrimination policy is encouraged to immediately report the matter to the building principal. Any person with knowledge of conduct which may violate this policy is encouraged to immediately report the matter to the building principal.

If the building principal is the subject of a complaint, the employee or third party shall report the incident directly to the Compliance Officer. The complainant or reporting employee may be encouraged to use the district’s report form, available from the building principal or Compliance Officer, or to put the complaint in writing; however, oral complaints shall be accepted, documented and the procedures of the nondiscrimination policy implemented.

Appeal Procedure

If the complainant or the accused is not satisfied with a finding made pursuant to the policy or of no violation of the policy or with the corrective action, s/he may submit a written appeal to the Compliance Officer within fifteen (15) days. If the Compliance Officer investigated the complaint, such appeal shall be made to the Superintendent.
